Patron Saints of Nothing vs. We'll Fly Away
Although I enjoyed both books, ultimately I enjoyed Patron Saints of Nothing more. I felt it was a compelling story that intrigued me enough to do some research, both on who the author actually was and also what was really happening in the Philippines. I think many students can relate to the struggle of finding their own identity within the expectations of family traditions and being true to themselves. For that reason my vote goes to the Patron Saints of Nothing.
ABM Final Votes- 8 Patron Saints of Nothing , 2 We'll Fly Away
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
